Series Thread: First Round - Edmonton Oilers vs. Los Angeles Kings

[dash]

It's really tough to say, I found this tweet and the guy says it touches the stick, but does the puck rotation change? You can see why the refs went with inconclusive and that the call on the ice stands.


Edit: Not too different from BBB's tweet above lol

At any rate, instead of moaning about a high sticked puck, how about focusing on the fact that you have blown 2, 2, and 1 goal leads in three consecutive games? Kings have led for a grand total of 7 minutes in the series and are up 2-1.

Also, I just have to add that after all the smug takes from Oilers fans about the Coleman non-goal in last year's playoff series, how does it feel to be on the receiving end? It's not even close to the same thing either, Coleman put the puck directly into the net, Ekholm still could have prevented the pass out front to Moore and I have no idea what Nurse was doing aside from being a 9.25 million dollar pylon.

The non call in OT was the Hockey Gods making up for the diving and shit that gave them two PP goals. For a "team of destiny" it sure is easy to knock them down.

When are Oiler fans more insufferable? When they are winning or when they are losing?

It's a coin flip, but I will say that some Oilers media folks (Mark Spector, Bob Stauffer just to name a couple) are ministers of propaganda that at times put people like Hannity and Tucker to shame. They have successfully conveyed the message to the Oilers faithful that the team can do no wrong and when they don't win, it's a league wide conspiracy to keep Edmonton down.

Case in point - What the hell is a playoff penalty?

"Hey, lets give the Oilers a bunch of 1st overall picks and then in a bunch of seasons when their fanbase thinks they should win the cup we will not let them pass the 1st round...wont that be swell"

I mean,its only a conspiracy if they lose....not if they get 1st picks or win

This reads like an old Trump tweet

Maybe the greatest player in the world should spend more time defending and less time being a referee

Could be a big add for the Kings...

It's almost to the point where the game should be called differently for the team that has the "best player in the world". So many people embarrassing themselves on twitter over the last 18 hours or so.

Chris Lee and Steve Kozari are the CA refs tonight. This should be a shit show for both teams.

What kind of pathetic loser do you need to be to keep stats on team records with certain refs?
